All three smartphones of the Q6 range packs an 18:9 display with rounded corners. The 18:9 panel found in this series is, however, smaller and lower in resolution when compared to the LG G6.

The LG Q6 series is the first to bring the 18:9 display technology to the masses....

With the NOTCH itself, companies have been trying various shapes and designs – from the bathtub notch on the Pixel 3 XL to waterdrop notch on the OnePlus 6T, we have seen them all. As we approach towards the end of this year, we are noticing a shift in the paradigm, with manufacturers like Samsung, Huawei, LG, and more recently, Lenovo planning on completely abandoning the NOTCH with their upcoming smartphones....

The third generation of the LG L series is born with three mobile devices that boost metallic colors and integrate narrow bezels.

Apart from the customised domains, Outlook Premium would also offer an ad free experience, better calendar sharing. All of these you get for a $3.99 per month and it is yet not clear on if the Microsoft 365 subscribers will get it for no extra cost. The $3.99 we are talking about is for the standalone product.
